This could be my favorite dessert. It's only about time and attention. Basically, you take pears, peel them, put them in a medium-sided, casserole-type dish, and roast at 400ยบ until they're done (about 2 hours), basting every 15-30 minutes. It's just butter, sugar and/or honey, a little lemon juice and water. From there you can add anything you want—maybe a splash of bourbon or a vanilla bean. It all works out in the end, but make sure your caramel isn't reducing too fast. If so, add water. You may need to do this a few times.
We served with some salty caramel ice cream and a glass of cognac.
